Primary Colors:

Primary Colors of Light:

RedGreenBlue

Primary Colors: Red Green BlueWhen all three are combined

equally they make white light.

Primary Colors: Red Green Blue When all three are combined equally they

make white light.

When two are combined equally they make a secondary color.

Secondary Colors:

Secondary Colors: Yellow (red + green) Cyan (green + blue) Magenta (red + blue)

Secondary Colors: Yellow (red + green) Cyan (green + blue) Magenta (red + blue) Any two colors that combine to form

white light are called complementary colors.

Secondary Colors: Yellow (red + green) Cyan (green + blue) Magenta (red + blue) Any two colors that combine to form

white light are called complementary colors. (yellow and blue / cyan and red /

magenta and green)

Pigments:

Pigments: Pigments are substances that are

used to color other materials.

cyan, yellow, and magenta.

Prisms :What is happening?

Prisms :What is happening? White light enters a prism its speed

is changed.

is changed. Each wavelength is effected

differently.

Lenses and mirrors:

Lenses and mirrors: Convex:

Lenses and mirrors: Convex: curved or rounded

outwardly (like the surface of a globe).

Lenses and mirrors: Convex: curved or rounded

outwardly (like the surface of a globe).

Concave:

Lenses and mirrors: Convex: curved or rounded

outwardly (like the surface of a globe).

Concave: curved or rounded inwardly (like the inside of a bowl).

Lenses: How do they work?

Lens Transparent piece of glass or

plastic that refracts light in a predictable way

Diverging/Concave lens A concave lens causes light to

diverge, or spread out, making a smaller image

Convex lens A convex lens causes light to converge, or focus,

the type of image formed by a convex lens depends on the position of the object in relation to the focal point.

Notice, that was what up is down and what was down is up after the focal point

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes Identify some common optical tools, and

describe whether each has lenses, mirrors, and/or prisms in it. These should include: eyeglasses flashlights cameras binoculars microscopes

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes Eyeglasses: have lenses

c. Hyperopia (farsightedness)

a. Normal eye

b. Myopia (nearsightedness) Corrected with concave lens

Corrected with convex lens

No correction needed

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes Flashlight: has lenses and a mirror

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes Cameras: have lenses, mirrors, and

a prism

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes Binoculars: have lenses and prisms

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes Microscope: has lenses

How have humans used science to engineer technologies that use electromagnetic energy?

1. Use of lasers Laser:

Powerful energy of light due to concentrating one wavelength (frequency)(color) of light

All energy is lined up

Lasers

On “same wavelength” In sync with one another (laser)
